Comment (by facundo.dominguez):

 I think this proposal would stumble with the same rock that ticket:12778
 and approaches (4) and (5). Given a nested splice, how do you associate it
 with a post-processor added with `addPostProcessor`?

 This approach doesn't look very different from using compiler plugins. If
 the user can annotate the splice location somehow, a plugin pass could
 spot them and complete the program.
